When we find ourselves in a low valley--when we've spectacularly failed--we often ask questions like: "Why me? How could I fail like this? How did I ever let myself get to this place? What went wrong?" Whether you have been there, or will someday, this message will be an eye-opener. Are you trying to live your life through your strength, or God's?

Sometimes, we find ourselves in traps: addiction, pornography, and many other things can keep us trapped in sin. Like a mouse attracted to cheese, there was initially something appealing in the trap. What looked good, easy, and fun at first didn't stay that way. It was a trap.

All you want to do is get out, but you can't get yourself out of a trap. You need a Rescuer.
